one good idea for fundraiser is dinners, or breakfasts. we have done raffles, carwashes, breakfasts, dinners, little duck races, any thing that we can think of. ---our pancake breakfasts work out the best though. we also have two big rooms in the station that we rent out. we get alot of oarties and receptions and weddings and such so that helps a bit too.

the dept im with now dosent do much fundraising, however my old in Va used to do:
chicken BBQ (was always a hit)
we used to clean chimneys for a small donation (was also good ladder training)
fill swimming pools (good water ops training)
community yard sale (plus its good PR, and can bring in some new vols)

Our dept pretty much does raffles. Guns,Gift Cards,Meat,Cash... We have had mud bogs and car washes which worked ok. We also have a pavillion and bar on the farm that we rent. This is were most of our funds come from.
